Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.*

(or 425 degrees F for 30 minutes)

Place a piece of parchment paper on a sheet pan.

Lay 1 sheet of puff pastry on a floured board and carefully roll it out to 10 by
12 inches.
Place it on a sheet pan and brush the center with the mustard,
leaving a 1-inch border around the edge. Place a layer first of ham and then
cheese, also leaving a 1-inch border. Brush the border with the egg wash.
Place the second sheet of puff pastry on the floured board and roll it out to 10
by 12 inches. Place the second sheet on top of the filled pastry, lining up the
edges. Cut the edges straight with a small, sharp knife and press together
lightly. Brush the top with egg wash and cut a few slits in the top to allow
steam to escape.

Bake (*450 degrees) for 20 to 25 minutes, until puffed and golden brown. Allow to cool for a
few minutes and cut in squares to serve hot or warm.
